Foster a Future (June 9)

Meet Ashton: Ashton, 14, has a fun smile but a serious nature. She can be found with her head buried in a book or writing down things that interest her. She likes to swim, play with dogs and cats, and help out with church sponsored activities. She is able to get good grades but may need a little help to keep her focused on one subject at a time. She is shy and takes time to consider when to "warm up" to others. She will flourish in a home that is understanding and supportive of her needs. She will need either a one or two parent home that is structured, consistent, who will set limits and boundaries, but still be encouraging and patient. Info: New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department, 800-432-2075 or cyfd.org.
